false 1271823 2 <B>From a well-known actress and math genius&#151;a groundbreaking guide to mathematics for middle school girls, their parents, and educators</B> <BR><BR> As the math education crisis in this country continues to make headlines, research continues to prove that it is in middle school when math scores begin to drop&#151;especially for girls&#151;in large part due to the relentless social conditioning that tells girls they &#147;can't do&#148; math, and that math is &#147;uncool.&#148; Young girls today need strong female role models to embrace the idea that it's okay to be smart&#151;in fact, it's sexy to be smart! <BR><BR> It's Danica McKellar's mission to be this role model, and demonstrate on a large scale that <I>math doesn't suck</I>. In this fun and accessible guide, McKellar&#151;dubbed a &#147;math superstar&#148; by <I>The New York Times</I>&#151;gives girls and their parents the tools they need to master the math concepts that confuse middle-schoolers most, including fractions, percentages, pre-algebra, and more. The book features hip, real-world examples, step-by-step instruction, and engaging stories of Danica's own childhood struggles in math (and stardom). In addition, borrowing from the style of today's teen magazines, it even includes a Math Horoscope section, Math Personality Quizzes, and Real-Life Testimonials&#151;ultimately revealing why math is easier and cooler than readers think. 1260772 2 8 2007 Math Doesn't Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail total:125|5:49|4:51|3:20|2:4|1:1| 125 518 242 54 4 5 false false Tue Sep 09 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 20 06:40:21 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 09 19:24:58 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 25 02:39:19 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 04:26:29 -0800 2008
